Endotoxins are toxic substances produced by certain bacteria that can have detrimental effects on human health. These harmful compounds released when the bacteria (gram-negative) die or are lysed or destroyed, making their way into various products and environments. Water used in the pharmaceutical industry; hemodialysis is susceptible to endotoxin contamination. Pharmaceutical products, such as injectable drugs, intravenous solutions, and vaccines, as well as medical devices used in surgical procedures, intravenous catheters, and implants, can also harbor endotoxins. Similarly, food products and consumables like dairy, meat, seafood, beverages, and processed food items are not exempt from potential contamination.

Exposure to endotoxins can have severe adverse effects range from mild discomfort, such as gastrointestinal issues, to more serious ailments, including respiratory distress, inflammation, organ dysfunction, and even septic shock in extreme cases. Prolonged exposure to high levels of endotoxins can have long-term health implications, compromising the immune system and increasing the risk of chronic diseases.
